Trade 8 in my therapy

I took one today. 
16 pips at the most. 

I also missed the earlier piercer due to food. 

The trade I took might not have been a great idea, since it looks like the trend is now up, but quite often 20 pips are had anyway. I left it because the Inverted hammer was forming. 

For the sake of this experiment, I'm going to rate every trade after it's success... or at least sort of. 

A winner will be 2, and a partial winner will be 1. 0 is given if no pips whatsoever was had. 

(The third trade is ignored.)

So far, 11/16.  (The second number will be 40 when I'm done. I'm hoping the first will be well over 20 by then).

Practice trades

Well, today I had the first 'half' trade. I was eating at the time, so I missed the next HD-trade...

A bit later after I was done with some stuff, I stumbled upon the next trade. RD, but I took it. 
It did win.

For the sake of this experiment, I'm going to rate every trade after it's success... or at least sort of. 

A winner will be 2, and a partial winner will be 1. 0 is given if no pips whatsoever was had. 

(The third trade is ignored.)

So far, 9/14.

Practice continues

Well, here they are. Today's two trades. 
Starting to feel somewhat good about pulling the trigger again. Just somewhat, not completely confident yet. 

For the sake of this experiment, I'm going to rate every trade after it's success... or at least sort of. 

A winner will be 2, and a partial winner will be 1. 0 is given if no pips whatsoever was had. 

(The third trade is ignored.)

So far, 6/10.

Third excersize trade

Total loss. Not even the small win. 

For the sake of this experiment, I'm going to rate every trade after it's success... or at least sort of. 

A winner will be 2, and a partial winner will be 1. 0 is given if no pips whatsoever was had. 

(The third trade is ignored.)

So far, 4/6.

Second excersize

Worked out well, even though the 'free' trade didn't win. 

For the sake of this experiment, I'm going to rate every trade after it's success... or at least sort of. 

A winner will be 2, and a partial winner will be 1. 0 is given if no pips whatsoever was had. 

(The third trade is ignored.)

So far, 4/4.

TitZ-practice

Well, TitZ is Trading in the Zone, probably the most essential book you'll have to read about trading and psychology in trading. 
(What did you think? TitZ... Shame on you!) 

Well, there is a good excersize in the end, that I won't give away too much about, nor the reasons (in case you have to read it yourself, I won't spoil it too much), but 20 excersize-trades are suggested. 
I'm gonna do them, and hope that my Zone-feeling returns. 

Here was today's trade. A winner, and a good start to the experiment. 
(A winner reaches Risk*1, not 20 pips. A partial winner is 1,5-3 pips.)

For the sake of this experiment, I'm going to rate every trade after it's success... or at least sort of. 

A winner will be 2, and a partial winner will be 1. 0 is given if no pips whatsoever was had. 

(The third trade is ignored.)

So far, 2/2.
